Okay then Nate. If you're still game please set a temporary admin password and email it to support@kiwisdr.com and I'll poke around and see if I can get any more info about what's going on. Thank you.

The problem yesterday was with programs or scripts using the Kiwi API (application programming interface) to connect in an uncontrolled manner. This is the same API used by kiwirecorder etc. and does not use the Kiwi user interface running on the br…

Was that traffic increase all from these HFDL bots? Don't know for sure of course, but that's the presumption.

v1.689 (and later) has countermeasures against the "botnet". v1.690 (and later) is necessary for your Kiwi to resume using the proxy service. These updates will happen automatically overnight (local time) unless you've disabled automatic u…

What I'd like to do on one of these that is failing is to run a curl upload command manually and see if there is any additional error information that might give us a clue. So someone please send URL and admin password to support@kiwisdr.com. Thanks.

Just waiting on the container with the cases now. Units otherwise assembled, programmed and ready to go. Should be in a week or two (early July). Another build for August/September already underway.

I used this one: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CUI-Devices/CFM-A225B-015-287?qs=QNEnbhJQKvb2DvAtDRPA%2FQ%3D%3D Note the important specs: low speed (1500 RPM), ball bearings, 5 VDC. It has wire power termination. So you'll have to splice in a …

Well that's pretty strange. As mentioned in the v1.688 thread the most recent changes (including v1.687) were very simple and should have only effected stuff completely unrelated to spot uploading.
-
I made that change because logging of the upload count from wsprnet.org (assuming they ever fix it) only occurs if the spots are uploaded from the server side. So I felt is was better to make the extension behave as autorun does. And it's autorun th…
-
In reviewing the code I see it already does the right thing. It keeps a count of the number of non-preemptable WSPR/FT8 autoruns and only refuses public listing if there is not at least one preemptable autorun. But the order of operations matters. I…
-
Yes, that's an excellent point. I can't remember the history but the preemption stuff may have been added after the code was added to refuse enabling of public listing if no "free" channels. I'll try and fix this. Thank you.
-
Well I don't know. I just tried my test Kiwi in Europe and both the WSPR extension and autorun uploaded spots without any problems. wsprnet.org is still only sending empty confirmation messages as opposed to earlier when they returned a count of suc…

Here's a 70+ post thread from the wsprdaemon forum describing how the wheels are falling off wsprnet.org (again) https://groups.io/g/wsprdaemon/topic/problem_uploading_spots/106716937?dir=asc I'm going to give them some time to sort out their mess b…

You only have to install netcat once ever. Sorry for the trouble.
-
Note also there are a whole bunch of shell aliases that allow less typing when using the antenna switch frontend script. So again from the admin console tab (or Debian ssh connection) type "cda" to change to the antenna switch directory. T…
-
Hi Dave, So I think I see one issue. It looks like the kmtronic-UDP backend script uses netcat (/bin/nc) compared to all the others that use curl. But netcat is not installed by the default Kiwi installation process. From the admin console tab try t…

Wow. Q301 is supposed to give reverse polarity protection. But not be a fuse, lol.
-
In a word: No. Every time I have to go near that Beagle device tree stuff my life turns into hell for weeks or even months at a time. We still don't have a BBAI Debian 11 image because I haven't had time to suffer through the dev tree stuff for it. …
-
Yes, I could have an admin configuration for this. For any Kiwi, including those you don't have admin access to, you can specify arbitrary key sequences as part of the URL. Could be part of e.g. a bookmark or device "add to home screen". m…

Add a feature request in a new topic post in this category please (in case there is subsequent discussion).

The RJ45 LEDs come from the Ethernet PHY chip directly. They are not driven from any sort of software that could for example drive a GPIO pin. But they are probably not relevant to what you really want. Didn't you say you wanted an indicator if some…
-
Are you asking if the orange/green LEDs on the Beagle Ethernet RJ45 connector can be remotely duplicated by making some sort of external wired connection? I think this is possible, but you'd have to locate the points to tap into the LED connections …
-
Yeah, this is yet another long story. But the short answer is that now that we have proper CIC FIR anti-alias filtering in the FPGA the waterfall FFT could be optimized somewhat. It has some logic that attempted to reduce the need for CIC filtering …

I had started looking into integrating various Fldigi decoders in a Kiwi extension. But that work got sidelined by more important tasks (only so many hours in a day). I got as far as getting RSID working. Wanted to work on MFSK next. And also replac…

Problem found and fix coming in next software release.
-
Sure. Email sales@kiwisdr.nz with your details and we can ship you a new BBG.
-
@ok1iak Well, here we are. Over two years later. I had not forgotten about this. For various reasons I decided now was the time to give it a try. This is an extremely early result. There are all kinds of problems. Currently, all I can get semi-reli…
-
Alright. After a barrage of emails I've implemented a new checkbox on the admin config tab that says "Show user names to user connections" The default is checked (i.e. yes, show the user names). It will be available in the next release. No…

The other thing you can do is look in the Javascript console of your browser for any obvious error messages after the TDoA fails. If you have a large screen you can open the console anytime. Otherwise wait until after the failure happens (the messag…
